Hidden Figures by Margot Lee Shetterly
3.25
informative inspiring slow-paced

I'm slowly discovering that narrative non-fiction is not my favourite genre. Nothing against the book itself, as I understand that it takes a lot to build the contextual history of the topic, but I came to this hoping to learn about African American women's role in the Apollo space missions and felt that it made up a very small portion of the story and that those details were glossed over.
